Getting Ready for Cold and Flu Season Now

01 October 2024

Cold and flu season is upon us, so consider this your cue to invest in high-quality cleaning products. At Your Service Environmental Solutions is committed to offering you a robust selection of cleaning products that excel at helping you clean and sanitize high-traffic areas in your home and/or workplace.

We all know that cleaning is worthwhile, but it becomes even more worthwhile during the time of year when people spend more time indoors. Fall is in the air, and unfortunately, so are everyone’s germs. Here are the main reasons why a cleaning routine is essential during this season of sneezing, sniffling, and coughing.

Increasing Vulnerability to Various Viruses

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), flu viruses aren’t the only types of viruses that circulate during cold and flu season. Rhinovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and human parainfluenza viruses (HPIV) are some examples of respiratory viruses that are particularly prevalent throughout the fall and winter.

Cleaning Significantly Reduces the Spread of Germs

Cleaning goes a long way in significantly decreasing the risk of spreading infection. If you’re well-equipped to clean and disinfect, then you can target areas that people touch with their hands, including doorknobs, toilet handles, light switches, remotes, and household appliances.

You Minimize Allergens in the Air

If you’ve browsed our extensive catalog of cleaning products, you’ve likely noticed that our cleaning kits come with dustpans and multi-colored dusters. Should you or your housemates contract a cold or a virus, your respiratory symptoms could worsen if there are irritating allergens in the air. Dusting is an important part of your cleaning routine during cold and flu season because it allows you to minimize allergens in the air (think pet dander, mold, and dust mites).

Indoor Air Quality Will Improve

You should know that every time you mop, dust, vacuum, and sanitize surfaces, you improve the overall indoor air quality. Since airborne particles (including flu viruses) can linger in poorly ventilated indoor environments—and the flu virus thrives in dry air—your cleaning efforts effectively dilute airborne particles and, therefore, minimize the risk of transmission.

Your Proactive Approach Will Set a Positive Example

Whether you are cleaning at home or at work (or both) throughout this upcoming cold and flu season, your interest in reducing the spread of germs and maintaining a healthy environment has the potential to inspire others around you. If they notice you cleaning with, say, our Dāvō™ products, they may feel inclined to follow your lead and join you in keeping spaces clean and inviting for everyone.
